Hey Simmers!

If you haven’t explored the world of cooking in The Sims 4, it’s time to throw on your apron and cook your way through the game’s 70+ recipes! Learn the Cooking Skill by using the Stove, Fridge, Cupcake Machine, and Outdoor Grill to cook meals, or have Sims read up on the skill using the Cooking Skill Books. As your Sims continue to gradually raise their Cooking Skill, they will unlock brand new recipes and cooking tricks.

The traits and aspirations you select for your Sims are important for advancing in the Cooking Skill. Giving Sims the “Foodie Trait” unlocks a special Cooking Show channel on TV, and the “Genius Trait” helps them stay focused while they cook. But wait! There’s more.

The “Master Chef Aspiration” will unlock even more rewards. This aspiration gives your Sims the bonus “Essence of Flavor” trait which improves the quality of the food they cook, and when completed, awards your Sim with the “Fresh Chef Trait”. Sims with this trait make food of the highest quality that never spoils.

Top it all off by entering the Culinary Career, and your Sims are ready for Top Chef status. To give you a leg up with the Cooking Skill, here are some helpful tips to guide you through your cooking adventures:

• The Gardening Skill is beneficial to the Cooking Skill. Not only does using high quality ingredients yield high quality dishes, it also decreases the cost of food.

• Get emotional! Sims who enter certain emotional states can unlock brand new recipes. Want some Silly Gummy Bear Pancakes? Have a Sim enter the "Playful" emotion!
